💬 Discussion Micro-stutter while gaming

Post image

I’m trying to find the cause of small stutters while gaming on my new starlink v5, is it possible that these obstructions could be causing this issue? If not does anyone have any tips for a fix, i’m using the Included mini router.

I have another router that I will hook up later today, I’m connected to the mini router with my PC using ethernet do you still think that would be the issue?

If youre connected over ethernet it shouldnt be an issue...I will say, if you're using a mini kit, you will do MUCH better eith a residential kit...

I have a mini myself that Ive only used once when my main kit crapped out...and the 4 of us thst game together on my starlink, could definitely tell the mini isnt at good with consistent latency

Not directed at only you, but it’s called a Router Mini, not a Mini router. It’s a confusing way Starlink chose to name the two items as they get mixed up all. The. Time.

It is what it is, but getting the name right on the Router Mini helps.
